In its sixty years, the WHAS Crusade for Children has weathered a lot changes. It started when TV was black and white, continued as TV went color and now is joining the digital age. As WHAS11’s Melissa Swan will show you, thanks to two local entrepeneurs the Crusade now is part of the latest trend…with its own app.
Vote for your favorite baby!
Vote for your favorite baby today!
Just click on the image of your favorite baby and carefully follow the instructions.
You have two ways to vote: credit or cash
When you click on a baby photo below, you’ll be taken to another Web page that gives you two choices. Just clicking on the photo WILL NOT cast a vote!
You can use your credit card securely online or download the official voting form and send it in with your donation. That’s how it works.
Important!
You MUST write the baby’s name in the comments section when using a credit card and on the mail-in form so the baby you like gets full credit.
Remember dollars equal votes!
Voting is determined by donations to the WHAS Crusade for Children. The babies who collect the most donations will be the winners.
Take a look and vote for your favorite!
How it works
As baby photos are submitted, they will be seen here on WHASCrusade.org. People then vote for their favorite baby by sending in donations to the Crusade. The baby with the most donations (votes) will appear on the calendar cover. The baby with the second most donations will appear on his or her favorite month. Third place will choose his or her month and so on til all months are filled. You must read the official rules below.
The Crusade will have professional photos taken of the top 16 babies and those are the photos that will appear in the calendar. All babies will be included in the calendar. Those who don’t make the top 16 will get day and date spots chosen in finishing order. Vote getter number 17 will get first choice of day and date, then number 18, etc.
